The Christian Science Monitor
ran a story about the rise in donated meat to help feed the poor. Of
course this meat didn't come from whacko environmentalists or animal
rights freaks or Humans Last!-ers, but from big, bad, Bambi blasting
H-U-N-T-E-R-S. Yeah baby! Fudds unite!
Hunters for the Hungry
is a loose confederation of state groups throughout the country who, in
partnership with hunters, processors, and meal providers, are giving
free meat to those in need. The NRA operates a clearinghouse of
information for these organizations.
Meat is an essential source
for protein and other nutrients that can't effectively be obtained from
plant foodstuffs. Of course the usual suspects decry this provisioning
for the poor. "'It's great to help others in need, but there are ways
to help others that do not involve the recreational killing of
animals,' says Andrew Page, director of the United States Humane
Society's hunting campaign in Washington, D.C." In other words "Boo
Hoo, Americans are getting fed by those we hate and demonize! We can't
stand that! We must destroy an American heritage any way we can! Darn
those hunters for being on the right side of the issue!"
Too bad
for them, but it seems that "Food pantries for the most part welcome
the addition of lean, organic meat, says Josh Wilson, national
operations director for FHFH." Aww, sure to get the vegans panties in a
bunch when they hear Americans want to eat meat! They sure don't like
the skeleton look most whacko herbivores sport. And it's
free range,
organic meat! Another poke in the eye of the plant eaters....
